Your Personal Top Five Rhinos Moments : Sun Apr 26, 2009 6:15 pm  

Basically just put your top five personal favourite moments of been a Rhino. Yes you can put something there if it was way before we was re-branded the Rhinos! Tis is the kind of thread we need at the moment. Here are my top five personal favourite moments - 1. The Danny McGuire try in the 2003 Challenge cup v St Helens 12/4/03 The whole match was full of Magical moments but none so more than this one that ended the game on more ecstasy than anyone could of imagined. It’s the only time I lost my voice at a Leeds Rhinos match and won’t probably lose it again. If this was a Super League Semi Final it would of eclipse the ‘wide to west’ try that the sky sports team keep reminding us about. Here is the highlights of that game if you want to watch again - http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_l ... 982355.stm 2. Seeing Leeds Rhinos lift a cup for the first time in my life in the 1999 Silk Challenge Cup (someone get me the exact date please) After witnessing Bradford Bulls as a better team all my life at that moment it was good to finally see Leeds Rhinos lift up a cup. I wasn’t all into good rugby back then just as long as Leeds won that’s all that mattered to me. Here is an Image that gave me so much joy that glorious day - 3. The Jordan Tansey try in the Millennium Magic match v Bradford Bulls 6/5/07 I was just about to walk out of the room because Sinfield has missed his kick. But then our player whose currently residing in Australia probably came up with the most criminal play that rugby league has ever seen. Bradford fans are probably pleased to see this pommie shipped out to Australia 4. The signing of the worlds best fullback Brent Webb (someone get me the exact date he signed please) Probably the player I’ve been most excited about ever coming to Leeds after seeing him play internationally and bits in the NRL. He’s still a totally joy to watch today and the worlds best fullback on his day IMO. 5. The Ryan Bailey Tackle on Maurie Fa'asavlu v St Helens 20/3/09 Opposition and our fans alike have a hate affair with this player. But surely he proved everyone wrong with this tackle of the season against St Helens player Maurie Fa'asavlu. James Grahams reactions were hilarious because he envy’s the kind of tackles that our Ryan can put in. Ryan Bailey IMO is one of the best prop forwards on his day. Not everyone can be super stars though. Other notable moments - McGuire second try v St Helens 2008 Grand Final 4/10/08, Ali Lauitiiti pass to Ryan Hall v Manly Sea Eagles in the 2009 WCC 1/3/09, Ryan Bailey getting straight up after the softcock challenge by SBW in the 2005 WCC 4/2.05 along with Andrew Dunneman drop goal v Wakefield Trinity Wildcats 3/5/03.

"RL Fans" actually see the Tansey try as one of the best moments as a Rhinos fan? I'm not too bothered about that one anymore, it's long gone, but it was a disgrace to RL, and tbh -although it will be memorable for you- watching my team score a try like that wouldn't be in my top five.

1. Being invited on the Leeds RLFC trip to Las Vegas in February 1974

2. Buying a pair of "those" adidas training shoes from Phil Cookson

3. Being kissed by a random stranger at Central Park at the final whistle of the 1994 challenge cup semi-final. Big bloke he was, I wasn't going to argue with him, quite enjoyed it actually, gave him a peck on the cheek as we left which he didn't seem enamoured with.

4. Wading all the way up the famous Wembley p1ss waterfall at the 1971 CC Final, right to the very top of the stand where you couldn't see a flippin thing and were rammed in like sardines - don't anyone ever try to convince me that standing stadia are the future.

5. Sitting in the cleaning ladies tea room at Carnegie College with handyman and floor cleaner Roy Dickinson as he took elevenses with his cleaning lady collegues - all this while he was still a fully paid up member of the first team squad.

No really, it was very, very, funny.

It still makes me laugh.

I know it was, I can see why, if it was the boot on the other foot I would be liket that, but it wouldn't be in my top five, and I see it's also not in yours.

Andy Dannatt commentating, from the St Helens bench, on Ellery Hanley scoring the match clinching try in the 1994 SCCC semi at Central Park against Saints, having previously broken Ellery's jaw.

Brad Godden and the try from one knee against Wigan.

The 19-0 drubbing of Wigan at CP.

The 2003 semi at Hudds and telling G1 not to give up even when all was lost.

And finally, Offiah's 10 tries against Leeds.

My cut off point was pre-superleague.

Just because it will annoy some pedant who notices that none of my stuff involves Leeds Rhinos.

1). McGuire's try in the 2004 grand final. I actually cried because you knew at that point that we had won it.

2). When Sinni kicked the conversion to take us into extra time in the CC semi against Saints.

3). Last years GF. I honestly thought we didn't stand a chance, especially with Webby out. That was sweet.

4). The 1999 CC final. It was the first trophy I had seen Leeds win.

5). The 1995 semi at Elland road against Fev. Not the fact that we had won, but they way we won. They played 'Walking on Sunshine' as we left the ground, and I literally was.
